[...] “It’s not that dissimilar to Obamacare, and you probably know I’m not a big fan of Obamacare. I just don’t think the mandates work … all the regulation they’ve put on it.”

“I haven't studied in depth the status of it," he continued, "but I think it’s beginning to death spiral. They’re beginning to have to look at rationing decisions. I don’t think this health care system works. That’s why I’m a believer in a consumer-based medicine, in consumer-based patient-centered reforms health care reforms.”

It really is the kiss of death for Mitt Romney's hopes of getting past his RomneyCare problem.

Romney's defense of RomneyCare based on "states rights" really is an excuse to cover up a bad decision. If Romney was truly following conservative principles, he would have rejected ideas of RomneyCare for the same reasons as Ryan.

Ryan also gives some insights into what he is looking for in a president in 2012 and his own 2012 asperations. You can read about them at The Weekly Standard.

In Romney's run for the senate against Ted Kennedy in 1994, he tried to out-liberal Kennedy and came close! Romney is the consummate slick politician - he will say what his audience wants to hear....and 'Romneycare' will forever be his albatross - I really hope he gets tossed from the lineup early in the 2012 campaign

About Me

I am a black conservative from a black conservative family. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and finally settled in New Jersey. Throughout my life I knew I did not share many of the common beliefs of other American blacks.
For starters, I never took to the term African-American. I have meet too many real Africans who are now Americans, to ever with a straight face say we share something in common other than skin tones. Their history and culture is truly a unique and is a completely different experience from my own. My culture is distinctly American, from the way I speak, think, dress and act and you know what else? I love it! So for me, I will always be an American who just happens to be black.
I put myself and my beliefs out here in cyberspace, to show my fellow blacks that there is something more. That one need not accept the false promise of the next social program, the belief in government as savior or the next Democratic candidate will right all wrongs. That true Hope and Change comes from belief in yourself, in a nation that allows dynamic movement if you are bold enough, smart enough and brave enough to make it happen.
